BCHL Reinstates 17-Year-Old Roster Rule

Friday, April 10, 2015

The BCHL has re-introduced the roster rule stating that each team must have a minimum of two players 17-years-old or younger on their active roster in 2015-16. This is a change from this past season when teams were required to have minimum of four rookie players, which was defined as those entering the season with less than 30 games of Junior A experience.

The 17-years-old and under rule was in place for the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons after teams were required to carry a minimum of one 16-year-old and one 17-year-old on their rosters during the 2011-12 season.
